Status and progress update

Progress overview - since last demo

  • The yearly update for ABM 2024 is being prepared and is planned to be released in Oct/Nov

  • New features in KTH Research Information app

  • POC for the KTH Indicators dashboard based on consolidated indicators collected from across KTH. The intended user group is KTH leadership and it enables comparing indicators across schools.

  • Involvement in mobilization of a new open data source with data from GDP (Gemensamma Data för Projekt)

  • The open data source OpenAlex (used in the Open Leiden Ranking) has been evaluated and efforts have started to map data in DiVA against OpenAlex and work has begun to enrich DiVA from this source.

Annual Bibliometric Monitoring 2024

Changes in ABM 2024

  • Prettier publication list export
  • Changed OA graph
  • Enabled selection of number of rows for co-publication tables
  • Some cosmetic changes

Brief ABM results for KTH

  • Number of publications is consistently declining
  • Citations indicators are slightly increasing
  • Journal indicators on a stable level
  • Small changes in co-publication patterns
  • Share of Open Access publications is steadily increasing

News in KTH Research Information

  • “Get results” visibility
  • Improved tables: Mouseovers, multiple selection filtering, filter indication at export, full strings at export
  • Improved networks: Searching enabled, KTH profile colors
  • Co-publication indicators similar to ABM

Work with KTH indicators & dashboard POC

KTH indicators - background and process

  • Ambition at KTH to track visions and goals using indicators
  • Project within Strategisk verksamhetsanalys
  • Workshops to align avaliable data with goals
  • Relatively manual data collection process from scattered systems at KTH
  • Indicator report + beta dashboard for testing purposes

Efforts at other universities

Workshop within BenchTech network

  • Members: TU Münich, ETH, EPFL, Virginia Tech, MIT, TU Delft, HKUST, DTU, PoliMi
  • Theme on institutional research, strategic planning and data insights within university administration

Examples:

  • Several presentations on modelling of student success and predictions on admissions and drop-off

Efforts at other universities - Cont’d

Take home messages:

  • Most universities have a more unified data handling than KTH
  • Often a mix of tools for regular reporting and dashboards and ad hoc-analysis.
  • Sometimes frustrating dichotomy between internal processes (slow) vs data and needs for analysis (fast)

Data curation

GDP

  • GDP (Gemensamma data för projekt) is an effort of a number of Swedish research funders to create a common data model for project data

  • Regular harvesting of data from the API is now available from object storage “minio” at KTH

  • We have participated in reference group for the GDP efforts in collaboration with partners, including Vinnova and other universities

  • R package has been developed with a client - https://github.com/KTH-Library/gdp

OpenAlex

  • Research outputs from KTH in OpenAlex - We have started to evaluate OpenAlex as a data source

    • Comparisons against DiVA, WoS, Scopus, BIBMET

    • Data enrichment using OpenAlex

    • R package has been developed with a client - https://github.com/KTH-Library/openalex

    • Discussions with Sunet and other universities about common resource

Data infrastructure

TODO: One slide here

  • our data flows
  • schmatic fig
  • new integration with HR

Aurora SDG mapping of theses.

  • data flow
  • enrichment to DiVA
  • graphs

Future work and discussion

Future work and directions

  • Release of ABM 2024

  • Change source for research data to Swecris

  • Dashboard over company cooperation in student theses

Related activities

  • Strategisk Verksamhetsanalys

  • New data warehouse solution at KTH
